My dear, my camera. I know we have gotten off to a rocky start. We have been together for almost a year and I feel like we hardly even know one another. Even though we live in the same house and I hold you in my hands many times a week, I just don't know what you are even capable of. I fear you may already know my limitations. I am much less mysterious than you. Even though you came with an "owners" manual (really...who owns who?) and it's written in my native language, I have you set on your auto mode. Such a disservice to you and your capabilities.....what a shame. I vow to become a better partner to you and to become better acquainted with your gifts and talents. Thank you for being so patient with me.

This is me, too. I have a Nikon D-60 and it's set on auto. Beyond the owner's manual I bought a couple of books that are supposed to be for beginners in the field of digital SLR cameras, and although they claim to be in my native language, they're all Greek to me.

Thank you ladies. Yvonne and Erin. Pearl is a regular point and shoot. A fancy one yes...but still more simple than a DSLR. I spent some time with the manual this morning and have already learned a few things. I think there may be hope :)
